Politics › Re: Army Bans Sale Of Petroleum Products In Jerry Cans by SmartyPants(m): 8:22pm On Jun 21, 2019
PatriotTemidayo:
Within where? It has better been theatre of combat o. And not a national proclamation.


It is not the place of the Nigerian Army to Ban anything. If they found a security-related substance of concern, they need to communicate same through military intelligence to the of the CODS or NSA.......

Such National Proclamation can and should only come from the NSA, sometimes through the ministry of interior, not even the Chief of Defense Staff (CODS)

I guess this is a military regime in disguise!
You didn't read those few lines and yet went on to type plenty lines.

The answer is clearly written! In the first few sentences!

Meaning you didn't even glance at the write up?

You answered the question. Nigeria is too politically, ethnically and ideologically diverse. We are a collection of peoples that do not agree.

Hey uncle you are wrong. Of course there so many snakes that do not have any venom, and they do not all have fangs either.

this is very true... Lots of shits happen during job search...

I know someone that was given employment letter on a thursday, told to resume on Monday, got a call on Saturday to come with the letter on Monday.. On Monday the employment letter was collected back and they told him sorry... Later found out that the MDs friend cousin needed a job and needed a slot asap
The things Nigerian companies get away with...a contract of employment is valid even if it was signed one minute ago. He should have sued them immediately.

Even at that, most women are aggressive drivers, coupled with the fact that they only care about the appearance of the car and hardly about the "mechanism'


*I'm a woman and I drive *
Lol well i think we can't use you alone to make an inference about all women. I really can't agree that women are generally more aggressive drivers.

But I will agree with you that women generally tend to care less about the mechanics of the care particularly if they have a man around like a husband, brother or father. If they don't i suspect you may find that women will found to be extra cautious in those circumstances.

ornicus:
and who do you think is put in charge of maintaining the car if not the driver?
or you actually think the drivers use of car stops with driving it?
who do you think washes the car, puts petrol in its, takes it for servicing?
what do you think the reason for employing a driver is?
I don't know if your goal here is to type out as many rhetorical questions as possible. This is my last attempt to help you understand.

The question at hand deals with a hypothetical scenario wherein you are presented with two options to buy a car that has been used by a man or the same car that has been used by a woman for the same number of years on the same roads. The variables are all the same apart from the fact that the owners of the cars were of different genders.

There is no hired driver.
The cars have not been used for Uber.
The cars are driven by their owners alone.

Which of the cars will you buy? That is the question.
Car Talk › Re: Does It Matter If A Used Car Was Used By A Woman? by SmartyPants(m): 9:42pm On Jun 13, 2019
ornicus:
if i have a driver, who was my car used by?
if i let out my ride for uber then i decie to sell it, who was the car used by?
if i own a fleet of trucks, buses, motorcyles - who is the car used by?
Those are all exceptions rather than the rule. The topic is considering the state of a car after being used solely by its owner who was a man or a woman.

The point is to analyse which gender takes better care of their own cars not which gender drives better overall.

amazing the complete lack of self awareness on this thread

who are the drivers constantly destroying their owners cars?
who are the psycho danfo drivers?
who are teh insane okada riders?

women?
Obviously this class of people don't have used cars to sell do they?

The topic is comparing the average man vs the average woman who buys a car with their own money.

Travel › Re: Why There Is Always Accidents On Third-mainland Bridge (see PHOTOS) by SmartyPants(m): 5:20pm On Jun 06, 2019
Kenmatt:
In general, over speeding is a major contributing factor to most accidents on the road.

I can't forget what my father told me when I was about seven years old. We were traveling to the village on Christmas period, he was on the wheel, another vehicle speedily did over take us, he said, if I am driving, that I should drive according to what I can control. That someone can control 140 very well while another finds it very difficult to control 120. That statement is evergreen in my mind any time I lay my hands on steering.
My father taught me a similar lesson. We were driving to school and one of our mates drove past us at high speed. My dad told us to wait and see how much difference their high speed would make, and indeed when we arrived at school they were still outside the gate.

If u offer a naija person discount on a product they'll patronise you everytime and when the discount ends they'll move on to another person offering discount.

majamajic:
so u too , now u didn't jump into conclusion about neymar not paying ?
Firstly, it's not a jump to conclusions. It's based on the available evidence, as I pointed out the fact that his behavior in releasing the pictures and screenshots is contrary to the behavior of a person who paid for silence.

Secondly, since there is no evidence that Neymar paid, any assertion that he paid must be supported with evidence. That is because, it is the rule, that he who asserts must prove.

If Neymar paid anything he would never have released those photos. Stop jumping into conclusions. The fact that it happened in case A does not mean it will happen the same way in cases B - Z.

ImaIma1:
When someone says marrying on that kind of salary is not advisable, they will say we are materialistic.

Imagine if a child is involved. You will know that it's not about being prudent or being a wife material.

Meanwhile, on this forum, a guy has been urged on to get married on a 40k salary. You guys should tell yourself the truth and stop hiding under "a good woman will manage"

This is real life, real expenses.
So you're going to ignore the fact that the marriage has been fine up until this issue? The fact is that this story actually proves that getting married on a budget can work albeit with some discomfort which the parties should expect.
Celebrities › Re: Naira Marley: I Have Two Wives And Four Children, I’m Not A Criminal by SmartyPants(m): 3:07am On May 29, 2019
VillagePipu:
If they found incriminating items on the laptop and Marley claimed the items belonged to his friend. If Efcc decides to involve Interpol, you think that friend would accept?

Just so you know, the Efcc receives foreign funding to boost their operations and many foreign countries are very happy with this clampdown on Internet fraudsters.

The UK DFID is among and would mess up any British found involved.
Marley already has said three things:

1. That the laptop was not his
2. That he does not know anything about it's contents
3. The laptop has no password and could be used by anyone

So, having said he does not know anything about it's contents, he obviously is not going to turn around and claim that he suddenly knows who is responsible for specific items on the laptop. More so when considered in light of point 3.

Secondly, even if it comes to the point where the friend claims the laptop was stole, that wouldn't automatically make Marley guilty of theft. Courts require evidence, and since of course said friend won't be appearing before a Nigerian Court, any allegations made by him won't generally be admissible as evidence, and even if they were, they would need to be corroborated by other pieces of evidence. For example, was the laptop reported as stolen at any point?
Celebrities › Re: Naira Marley: I Have Two Wives And Four Children, I’m Not A Criminal by SmartyPants(m): 1:38am On May 29, 2019
VillagePipu:
Please, whoever knows Naira Marley should ask him to shut the bleep up.

He said he has 2 wives in the UK but he's so stupid to know that Bigamy is a crime in the UK under the s.11 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973.

Secondly, he claimed to borrow the laptop from his friend. What if that friend claims that the laptop was stolen and he didn't know who stole it? Marley would be guilty of theft too.

Naira Marley is so daft that the more he opens his mouth, the more he incriminates himself.
Why would his friend do that? More so when said friend is in the UK and is of no concern in the matter?
Sports › Re: Our Rivals Are Jealous Of Our Success - Man City Chairman by SmartyPants(m): 10:02am On May 28, 2019
Lyoncrescent:
As far as the EPL is concerned, Manchester United distorted the market in terms of transfer fees and wages. United chose to pay Sanchez 500k pounds per week even when city had to confess they couldn't pay Sanchez that and same United overpaid for the likes of Pogba and Lukaku which has distorted transfer fees and is why crystal palace will want to sell an average player like Zaha for 60 million. Man City buy a wide range of players but they don't distort like man utd and Barcelona. And I use Lukaku and Dembele with Coutinho as examples as they are not value for money for what was paid compared to kepa,allison and van Dijk who cost a lot but are value for money.
You don't seem to get it. It's not about spending money, it's about getting that money from football sources. If someone is just handing money to you to spend in manner that is not justified by the club's football revenues, that is what goes against the fair play rules.
